Radio Data Systems (RDS)

Your audio system is equipped with a Radio Data
System (RDS). Using RDS, the radio can do the
following:
D Seek only to stations broadcasting the selected type

of programming,

D seek to stations with traffic announcements,
D receive announcements concerning local and

national emergencies, and

D display messages from radio stations.
RDS features are only available on FM stations that
broadcast RDS information. The RDS features on your
radio rely on receiving specific RDS information from
these stations. These features will only work when the
RDS information is available. In rare cases, a radio
station may broadcast incorrect information that will
cause the radio features to work improperly. If this
happens, contact the radio station.

While you are tuned to an RDS station, the station name
will appear on the display. RDS stations may provide a
program type (PTY) for current programming and the
name of the program being broadcast.
